Powerful Winter Storm begins crippling Much of U.S
Posted on December 20, 2012 by END TIME HEADLINES

CUMBERLAND. Md — The first official day of winter Friday may bring a real taste of seasonal weather with several inches of snow, gusting winds and wind chill readings in the single-digit range. And, to no surprise, the higher elevations are expected to bear the brunt of the storm. AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Walker said Wednesday that a winter storm will be moving into the area Thursday afternoon.

“The storm will be starting off with warmer temperatures and rain and then change into snow showers Thursday night and into Friday. There will be a few inches of snow and windy with some pretty cold air moving in,” said Walker, who has been a professional weather forecaster for 35 years. Six to 12 inches of snow could be expected in far Western Maryland and 3 to 6 inches in the lower elevations of the region. The National Weather Service posted a winter storm watch for Garrett County and extreme western Allegany County for the period from Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon.

Very windy and cold here (in DC) this morning. Also I read on the news that most of Annapolis lost power last night because of an unexplained 'explosion'. Donno if the wind had anything to do with that or what. Or could be aliens or the End Of The World. ;D

Boiling water freezes instantly in Siberia
Amateur video shows boiling water freezes instantaneously in Siberia as temperatures dip below minus 40 degrees Celsius.

It's gotten chilly here - it was in the 40s today, and down to the 20s tonight; until now it's been in the 60s - 70s. There's a wind advisory; I was driving down a major road and was wondering why there were flowers all over the street...then I realized they had been blown there from the cemetery that ran along the road.

Its definantly time to bundle up! ;D
